Like with the stars who were nominated for trophies at the 2016 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, the ensembles that hit the red carpet before the event had some clear winners... and plenty of losers.

This year's sartorial statements from the best in TV talent offered up eyesores left and right, with Modern Family star Sarah Hyland leading the way with a strange combination of embroidered gown and ankle-grazing pants.

The stunning 25-year-old's ensemble was certainly a success from the waist up, with a sleeveless bodice in cream decked in yellow, pink and red flowers in detailed embroidery.

Swing and a miss: Modern Family star Sarah Hyland confused on the carpet for the 2016 Emmy Awards in this odd mix of embroidered gown and black capri pants

An odd choice: The gorgeous 25-year-old star stunned from the waist up in the cream-colored gown, but revealed beneath a set of drab black pants

A miss: My Girl star Anna Chlumsky suffered a fashion fail with her bizarre caped dress, which did little to flatter her frame - while the pale pink color left her looking slightly washed out

But from there, things went a bit south. The pale pink gown split into two portions draping to the floor, leaving a clear view of her legs straight to the hip from both the front and the back.

Yet, instead of daring to bare her legs or don a set of equally-dressy leggings, the star opted for a quite drab set of black capri pants.

Paired with a pair of metallic strappy sandals, the outfit simply seemed a total mismatch of red carpet-ready and casual.

But Sarah wasn't the only lady on the carpet attempting to rock the pants-meets-dress look. How To Get Away With Murder guest star Alexandra Billings, also hit the carpet in the dress split in the front to reveal a set of slacks.

On the flip side: Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael, 30, missed the mark in this strangely-paired tulle skirt and yellow top

However, unlike Sarah, Alexandra's pants were of a bright fuchsia shade to match her brightly-colored purple and pink frock.

Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael, 30, also appeared to be having a matching issue with her red carpet ensemble, sporting a lilac tulle maxi skirt with an asymmetrical yellow top. While the colors clashed, the bigger problem with the outfit was the fact that the tulle in the skirt ended before the top began, making it look as though the wind had awkwardly blown it up to reveal more than intended.

Model and actress Hari Nef, 23, however, had a more subtle issue. While the layered spaghetti strapped dress seemed overpowered by a messy bow of fabric in the front, the real irksomeness could be found in the print - a blood red pattern of cherubs seemingly piled on top of one another.

Last year, Fred Armisen came in a suit with a red and green striped tie and a glove covered in knives in an homage to Freddy Krueger as a tribute for Wes Craven, who had died the previous month. He kept up the tributes this year by sporting what looked to be a pair of bolts on his neck, presumably in tribute to the late Young Frankenstein star Gene Wilder.

On his arm was girlfriend of two years and Orange is the New Black star Natasha Lyonne, who looked like she belonged more in a superhero film than standing next to Frankenstein's monster with a massive draping white cape that dragged along the floor.

On the other hand, Constance Zimmer, 45, of UnREAL went bright with a white dress decked in pink and red embroidered flowers and matched the look with bold, hot pink lips.
